For the longest time, I thought love was about finding the right person someone who would understand me and make me feel loved, seen, and safe. But over time, I realized it wasn’t about the other person being right it was about who I was.
Relationships are mirrors. They reflect how we show up, how we set boundaries, and how we love ourselves. And that’s what self-love in relationships truly means; learning to see ourselves clearly through the way we connect, react, and open our hearts.
Even not being in a relationship or finding yourself drawn to the unavailable ones tells you something, too. It’s life’s way of showing you what still needs your attention, compassion, or healing.
When we begin to see it that way, things shift. It’s no longer about fixing or blaming anyone else it’s about understanding yourself through the relationships and patterns that life brings.
That’s the real work learning to meet yourself with honesty, curiosity, and tenderness.
Working together, we explore these reflections gently and openly so you can create connection that feels genuine, mutual, and aligned with who you’re becoming.
If this speaks to you, I’d love to connect. You can book a free 30-minute discovery call a space to simply explore, reflect, and see if this work feels right for you.
